A traffic report has been prepared by Kirkham Michael & Associates, Inc. (March 30, 2007) and the City of West Des Moines (April 2022) for this area that outlines what the ultimate paving requirements will be for the major roadways through and in the vicinity of the Silverwood development.
Prior to, or in conjunction with the development of any parcel, or portion of a parcel, the developer shall have the traffic report reviewed by the city to ensure that the provisions and assumptions of the original traffic report are still valid and applicable.
The development or redevelopment of each parcel within the PUD boundaries shall abide by and accommodate the recommendations of the approved traffic study. The developer, his successors or assigns shall be responsible for their pro rata share of public road improvements deemed necessary to accommodate the intended development. Additionally, the dedication of all permanent public street rights of way within the Silverwood PUD and remnant land south and west of Mills Civic Parkway and S88th Street shall be provided as necessary upon request. Temporary right of way required during the construction/installation shall be provided as necessary.
Per the traffic analysis the following vehicle trips have been allocated:
Parcel A | 1,139 average daily trips (ADT); 89 A.M. peak; and 120 P.M. peak vehicle trips. |
Parcel B | 1,458 average daily trips (ADT); 111 A.M. peak; and 135 P.M. peak vehicle trips. |
Parcel C | 909 average daily trips (ADT); 246 A.M. peak; and 198 P.M. peak vehicle trips. |
Parcel E | 1,678 average daily trips (ADT); 118 A.M. peak; and 152 P.M. peak vehicle trips |
As development proposals are approved for each parcel, the number of vehicle trips generated by the proposed development will be subtracted from the overall total trips allocated to that parcel. Approval of this proposed PUD does not constitute a guarantee that the proposed plan can be implemented as currently intended. Development of all parcels and implementation of desired land uses, including specific high traffic generating tenants, will be limited by the available number of trips. Should anticipated traffic exceed the total trips allocated to a parcel and the overall development prior to full build-out, further development of parcels may be limited or prohibited. Alternate uses to those planned for within the traffic analysis and approved as part of this ordinance may be allowed, following completion of an amendment to the approved traffic study analyzing the proposed alternative and appropriate city approval of an amendment to the PUD ordinance and/or PUD Sketch, if necessary.
